SUMMARY:15-Minute History Spotlight: The Family Tea House
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Sunday\, July 27 when high school student and AHS volunteer\, Caroline Tso\, will discuss her new exhibit at the Arlington Historical Museum\, “The Family Tea House: Where Culture and Cuisine Met in Arlington.” This young historian from Woodson High School will talk about the restaurant\, the first Chinese restaurant in the county\, it’s place in history\, and what she found out about it. \nThis initially began as a project to celebrate Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month. Ms. Tso was interested in the history of Asian Americans in Arlington and found advertisements for Chinese restaurants from the late 1940s and 1950s. She grew curious about how these restaurants started in Arlington and how they differed from\, yet were similar to\, the numerous Chinese restaurants we have today\, decades later. \nThis is one of a new series of brief talks at the Arlington Historical Museum on select Sundays each month. Come to the talk and learn history you won’t learn in school\, then stay to tour all the new exhibits at the re-envisioned museum.
